The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1647 - BREAKING： Devastating Fires Destroy Los Angeles

00:00:00.000 As President Trump's return to the White House reorders world politics,

00:00:04.040 from killing corporate DEI policies to toppling governments,

00:00:08.100 Mark Zuckerberg makes a major announcement about the future of conservative speech

00:00:12.760 on Facebook. And it's good news. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. Los Angeles is on fire. Los Angeles is often on fire,

00:00:41.060 but this time Los Angeles is really, really on fire from Pasadena all the way over to Malibu.

00:00:47.360 So we're all praying for the people in LA. However, these fires are not just caused

00:00:53.400 by natural elements. There are a lot of political elements going on here too

00:00:57.720 that underlie the severity of the fires. There's so much more to say. First though,

00:02:07.440 Mark Zuckerberg comes out yesterday in t-shirt, gold chain, a watch that I think costs upwards of a

00:02:15.600 million dollars. He's in his rapper era. He's hip. He's cool. He's so hip and cool that he realizes

00:02:22.780 which way the political winds are blowing. And he is not only acknowledging that Facebook has been

00:02:30.500 censoring conservatives, he promises that Facebook is going to stop censoring conservatives.

00:02:37.780 And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.

00:02:42.660 The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing

00:02:47.560 speech. So we're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our

00:02:53.220 policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically, here's what we're

00:02:59.220 going to do. First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes

00:03:04.380 similar to X starting in the U.S. After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote

00:03:11.940 non-stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address those

00:03:17.880 concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the fact checkers have just been too politically

00:03:23.320 biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S. So over the next

00:03:28.880 couple of months, we're going to phase in a more comprehensive community notes system.

00:03:34.040 Second, we're going to simplify our content policies and get rid of a bunch of restrictions on

00:03:39.100 topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse.

00:03:44.380 What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions

00:03:49.840 and shut out people with different ideas, and it's gone too far.

00:03:54.660 Better late than never, I guess. I remember when these conversations were starting up between Facebook

00:04:01.200 and content creators and news outlets. Eight years ago? Nine years ago?

00:04:06.700 I remember being involved in some of those conversations.

00:04:12.080 And at the time, Facebook said, no, no, we've got to take serious action here. They were getting a ton

00:04:17.560 of pressure from the left. In a way, I kind of pity Mark Zuckerberg. They were getting pressure from

00:04:21.180 Elizabeth Warren. They were being blamed for allowing the Mango Mussolini to win the 2016 election. 0.95

00:04:25.720 So Facebook clamped down on conservatives.

00:04:27.960 The Daily Wire was the biggest thing on Facebook. We were the biggest news commentary producer on

00:04:37.880 Facebook. We were absolutely crushing. And then one day, Facebook decided to kill our reach by 90%.

00:04:44.260 That was not some organic change that happened because of new market desires and forces.

00:04:51.400 That was a decision top down at Facebook. Kill conservatives, specifically kill Daily Wire. 0.99

00:04:57.480 And now Mark Zuckerberg is saying, yeah, our fact checkers were too politically biased to the left, 0.81

00:05:04.840 anti-Trump. And yeah, we probably should allow people to talk about immigration and the crazy 0.97

00:05:11.700 trans stuff and all the rest of it. We weren't letting you do that before, but now we're going to have to. 1.00

00:05:17.660 Why? Because Trump won. Why did Trudeau resign? Or why is he planning to resign? Because Trump won.

00:05:26.080 Why is Mark Zuckerberg donating to the Trump inaugural fund? Why is Mark Zuckerberg changing

00:05:30.620 the policies to stop punishing conservatives? Because Trump won. And he didn't just win an

00:05:35.160 electoral college landslide. He won the popular vote. Mark Zuckerberg needs to do this in order to

00:05:42.120 serve the market. Most people want Trump to be president. Also, Trump is president. Trump is

00:05:50.200 in power. And he's not afraid to wield that power. And Mark Zuckerberg wants to be on the right side

00:05:55.140 of the regulators. So some people are saying this isn't good enough. Mark Zuckerberg has been going

00:05:59.480 after conservatives. And Facebook's been suppressing conservatives. And this isn't fair. And we

00:06:03.160 shouldn't let him off the hook. He's not being sincere. I don't know. Maybe he's sincere. Maybe he's

00:06:06.760 not. I don't think Mark Zuckerberg's some radical leftist. He's empowered radical leftists. But I

00:06:12.260 don't think he's some radical. But I don't really care. I don't care whether this guy's sincere,

00:06:16.840 if he's seen the light. I don't care at all. I care about what happens. I care about what he does.

00:06:22.120 I'm elated. In fact, if Mark Zuckerberg is being disingenuous and cynical here and he's just trying

00:06:26.640 to go where the wind is blowing, all the better. Because that is further evidence, proof positive if you

00:06:32.340 ask me, that the political winds are blowing in the favor of conservatives, of real conservatives,

00:06:37.560 of the kind of conservatives who don't just advance the position of Democrats, of the kind

00:06:42.900 of conservatives who voted for Trump. We're winning. Exhibit Z. Exhibit number 3052. Things are going in

00:06:53.120 our direction. Now, speaking of social media content, an extremely disturbing video made the rounds

00:06:58.360 yesterday. It is a porn lady showing up to a five guys burger restaurant and propositioning the young 1.00

00:07:05.980 man behind the counter. I just wondered, I can't just see it on the menu, but where do I get the five 0.56

00:07:11.100 guys from? The five guys. I didn't know if it was like a special room or you can take me out back.

00:07:19.260 No, I don't think that's happening. What, but after your shift? I mean, I'd want to give you,

00:07:24.680 you know, a good rating. I'm a fishing man and I'm watching myself. I'm asking for what's on the

00:07:30.220 menu, that's all. Genuinely, I feel like I'm doing that now. I can hand you a menu if you want.

00:07:35.320 Are you on it? No, I'm not. Oh, that's a shame. Oh, that's a shame. Yeah, isn't it? Yeah.

00:07:41.960 Where can I get the five guys? Ha ha ha. What a groaner. First of all, great on that young man.

00:07:52.800 Great. He says, I'm a Christian. I'm waiting until marriage. Had I been his age, what is he,

00:08:01.260 a teenager, early 20s? I was an atheist, agnostic in my teenage, early 20s. Had I been that guy,

00:08:08.860 some lady walks in and propositions me? I don't know that I would have had the strength and 0.96

00:08:13.720 maturity to say, no, thank you, lady. I'm a Christian man. I'm waiting until marriage. So

00:08:18.920 huge props to that guy. This woman should maybe be arrested for soliciting fornication. 1.00

00:08:27.300 She should, at the very least, be institutionalized because she's nuts. 1.00

00:08:31.080 She could be prosecuted or otherwise discouraged for obscenity. There should obviously be many more 0.97

00:08:39.800 regulations around pornography. This is a really gross woman, a really disgusting woman whose 1.00

00:08:47.580 behavior should be curtailed by the culture and by the law. But that's not the most distressing 0.99

00:08:54.860 aspect of this little video, of this whole phenomenon. It's not just this woman. It's not

00:08:58.740 just this video. There's another porn lady who went viral. We talked about it on the show 0.98

00:09:03.140 for having slept with 100 men in one day. And she says she wants to sleep with 1,000 men.

00:09:09.400 But we should be clear here. That woman didn't go viral for sleeping with 100 men. She went viral 1.00

00:09:17.640 for talking about sleeping with 100 men in a documentary and for talking about how in the

00:09:23.200 future she might sleep with 100 men. In this case, this woman didn't go viral for creating some 1.00

00:09:29.140 pornography. She went viral for going into a burger restaurant and debasing herself. I guess that to me 1.00

00:09:35.440 seems the most depraved aspect of this whole new genre of reality show pornography, of only fans or

00:09:44.560 individual kind of social media influencer porn, is that it has nothing to do with nudity. It has nothing

00:09:54.240 to do with sex acts. It's even creepier than that. It's even more depraved than that. The content that's

00:10:05.220 going viral, there's no shortage of naked ladies on the internet. The reason this woman and the woman 1.00

00:10:09.960 previously who slept with 100 men, the reason they've gone viral has really very little to do

00:10:15.400 with them taking their clothes off. It's them just talking about ways in which they have debased

00:10:20.600 themselves. That's the porn. And it makes sense that in a culture in which nudity and obscenity is 0.92

00:10:29.460 ubiquitous, totally saturated with porn, that people need something even more bizarre, even more depraved.

00:10:38.360 And so what titillates here is the personal debasement of these women to walk into a five 1.00

00:10:45.040 guys and proposition the kid behind the counter. That is a culture that is too obscene.

00:10:51.740 And we need some guardrails back. And this is happening in my own state of Tennessee,

00:10:56.460 regulating pornography. I mean, this is normal stuff. The libertarians and the leftists will

00:11:02.560 raise a ruckus about it, say it's a bad idea to regulate pornography or something.

00:11:08.820 We've always done that. And a culture that doesn't regulate this kind of obscenity

00:11:14.400 is going to get to the point where we're so perverse that what really gets us going is just

00:11:21.400 watching some depraved women talk about the various ways in which they might in the future 1.00

00:11:28.000 or in the past have debased themselves. Gross. There's so much more to say. First though, 1.00

00:11:32.540 go to puretalk.com slash Knowles. You voted wasteful big government out and efficient government in. 0.59

00:12:35.700 wireless company. Speaking of moral questions, there is a new Archbishop of Washington. Just as

00:12:42.360 President Trump is entering office, the Vatican has appointed a new Archbishop to Washington. This

00:12:49.600 would be Robert Cardinal McElroy. Cardinal McElroy is the former Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco.

00:12:58.200 He is considerably to the left of many people, as certainly to a prelates in the Catholic Church

00:13:05.680 and the Catholic tradition. He is radically liberal and pro-LGBT. And he's just come out and said that

00:13:14.800 mass deportations of the sort that President Trump is proposing are antithetical to the Catholic moral

00:13:21.240 vision. He said, quote, we are called always to have a sense of the dignity of every human person

00:13:25.340 and thus plans which have been talked about at some levels of having a wider indiscriminate mass of

00:13:29.900 deportation across the country would be something that would be incompatible with Catholic doctrine.

00:13:35.480 So we'll have to see what emerges in this administration.

00:13:38.060 Now, I don't know if Cardinal McElroy is a history buff or anything, but I am a little bit. You know, I love

00:13:46.960 Christopher Columbus, the man who discovered our hemisphere and an important man in the development of

00:13:53.640 America. Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, which also marked the end of something known as

00:13:59.400 the Reconquista. The Reconquista, which was the campaign of Spanish Catholics to retake land that

00:14:10.440 Muslims had conquered about 781 years prior. The argument in America from the libs is we can't deport 0.90

00:14:20.400 people on mass. Some of these people have been here for decades. Spain, led by Catholic monarchs,

00:14:32.560 one of whom is in the process of being canonized, who is a servant of God, Queen Isabella,

00:14:39.200 managed to boot out a whole lot of people who had been in the country for not just years or decades, 0.95

00:14:45.260 but for 781 years, just booted them out at the end of the Reconquista. Because the Muslims invaded 1.00

00:14:52.280 Iberia in 711 AD, and they gained a lot of ground. They tried to conquer all of Europe, but happily,

00:14:59.240 Charles Martel, the grandfather of Charlemagne, booted the Muslims out at the Battle of Poitiers,

00:15:04.640 tours 150 miles outside of Paris. But the Muslims had Iberia for a very long time until the Christians 1.00

00:15:10.700 started to take the land back. This all ended in 1492, and they gave them the boot. And then there

00:15:17.620 were further waves of deportations of Muslims in the century that followed. Now, famously, Jews got 1.00

00:15:23.940 caught up a little bit in the mix there. They also got the boot in 1492, though the Catholics mitigated 0.99

00:15:28.920 this a little bit by allowing Jews who had been booted out of Iberia to settle in the papal states.

00:15:33.620 It's a long story. But the Reconquista broadly targeted at Muslims. And in any case, 0.94

00:15:40.520 one does not even need to defend the Reconquista, a very important event in the history of Christendom

00:15:47.040 and Western civilization. But one does not even have to defend it to point out that what Cardinal

00:15:51.420 McElroy is saying here is simply not true. To say that mass deportation is not in line with Catholic

00:15:58.400 doctrine. One of the pivotal events in the history of Christendom, a policy undertaken by

00:16:05.480 a servant of God, a woman who was put on this path to canonization recently in 1974 by a relatively

00:16:12.900 liberal pope, Pope Paul VI, one of the two popes whose pontificate coincided with the Second Vatican

00:16:18.680 Council. She undertook the policy, very important policy. I don't know. I'm a little,

00:16:27.100 I'm a little skeptical, not of the position within the church of Cardinal McElroy, but of the political

00:16:34.460 and moral claims he's making here. It doesn't seem to jive with Catholic history. Now, speaking of

00:16:39.940 ages past, I was making this point yesterday on social media that in modernity, we seem to have

00:16:48.320 gotten a few things wrong. Maybe we need to look toward the past. And someone said, well, Michael,

00:16:53.100 are you kidding me? You want to look back to the dark ages? And the dark ages is a polemical term

00:16:58.180 that's come up in modernity, mostly to attack Christianity. But it's unclear even what dark

00:17:02.520 ages refers to. Some people use dark ages to refer specifically to the centuries immediately after the

00:17:08.140 fall of Rome. So the latter half of the first millennium AD. Some use dark ages to refer to the

00:17:15.160 whole middle ages. But I was thinking about it. People have this animus, this prejudice against the dark

00:17:21.940 ages. And they think that we live in this enlightened new modern era. And the chief evidence

00:17:27.240 that they posit is that we live longer today. During the early middle ages, people only lived

00:17:33.380 into their 20s, maybe 30. Then in the later middle ages, they'd live into their 30s, maybe 40. And if

00:17:39.780 you take infant mortality out of it, they might live into their 50s or even 60 or a little higher.

00:17:44.220 But today we live to what? To our 70s? I looked this up. The global life expectancy today

00:17:52.400 is about 73 and a half years. And I thought, okay, 73 and a half years, that's considerably longer.

00:17:59.200 That's twice as long maybe as people lived during the middle ages. But then I said, well, hold on.

00:18:06.040 What about abortion? Because in the middle ages, there was infant mortality. We've reduced infant

00:18:13.120 mortality in principle today, except not really. Because now we just murder lots and lots of babies 0.68

00:18:18.220 en masse. There was a number reported last week that 45 million babies are killed each year through

00:18:22.840 abortion. But the World Health Organization reports the number is much higher. It says it's about 73 to

00:18:27.220 75 million babies killed each year through abortion. So hold on. We count infant mortality when we're

00:18:33.380 thinking about the life expectancy in the middle ages, but we don't count infant mortality and

00:18:36.960 modernity because we want to pretend that infant mortality isn't really infant mortality because

00:18:40.540 we want to pretend that infants aren't really infants. So what happens when you add in the abortions? 0.77

00:18:45.260 A little tricky to calculate, but the global life expectancy today, without counting the abortions,

00:18:50.120 is 73 and a half years. The global life expectancy with abortion, about 47 and a half years.

00:18:58.020 And could be significantly lower even than that. Life expectancy by the high middle

00:19:03.180 ages, 30 to 40. And if you survive childhood, 50 to 60. Which means the average life expectancy in

00:19:09.740 modernity with all of our advantages is only slightly higher than it was during the high middle ages.

00:19:14.860 What else do people say? Well, back in the middle ages, you just had to toil every single day. You

00:19:20.220 never got any days off. It wasn't as luxurious as it is today. That is also just not true. People during

00:19:27.820 the middle ages had much more time off work than we do today. During the middle ages, people had up to

00:19:33.920 half a year off because of the liturgical feasts that were actually mandatory. You were not allowed

00:19:39.940 to work on big feasts. So you could have up to half the year off. Today, what do people get off? Two

00:19:45.380 weeks? I don't even really take vacation. We're not just talking about workers or people in the salt

00:19:52.000 mines. We're talking about executives. We're talking about everybody. No one takes time off. Everyone's

00:19:55.760 working all the time these days. And so you can't point to days off or vacation time.

00:20:01.680 Well, people didn't get to travel. That's not true. People traveled a lot. Well, Canterbury Tales

00:20:06.080 opens up with the time of the year when people would go on pilgrimage. So they wouldn't go on

00:20:12.340 to St. Croix, but they would go to pilgrimage to see some of the most beautiful works of art and

00:20:16.720 architecture ever created. Much more beautiful than anything people are making today.

00:20:21.840 Well, people in the middle ages, they had no hope. What are you talking about? People in the

00:20:25.160 middle ages had much more hope than we do today. We're a despairing society. People today are taking

00:20:33.340 depression pills. They're so without hope. One in five women takes depression pills because of the

00:20:38.340 despair that she feels. In the middle ages, people had hope because the middle ages were not disenchanted

00:20:43.760 because the middle ages were not atheistic and materialistic and so damn confused.

00:20:49.760 Don't tell me that people in the so-called dark ages didn't have hope. They had significantly more

00:20:53.780 hope than we have today. It reminded me that what most people think they know about the so-called

00:20:59.560 dark ages or the middle ages broadly is just nonsense. And it's a cope. It's a way for those 1.00

00:21:08.040 of us in modernity to pretend that we're living in the greatest time ever. You always hear from the

00:21:13.480 liberals that we're living in the safest, least violent, most prosperous time ever.

00:21:17.080 If you just look at people killed, especially if you include abortion,

00:21:20.860 we live in the most violent, barbaric time ever in the history of the world.

00:21:25.840 Okay? So when we're considering policies and even when we're thinking about morality vis-a-vis public

00:21:32.900 life, please don't tell me that in the past everyone was so barbaric, but we figured it all out.

00:21:38.720 Frankly, it seems that people in ages past understood things a lot better than we do. I'm not saying I

00:21:45.320 want to go back to medieval dentistry, but there are things we can learn from our ancestors. Now,

00:21:51.080 speaking of leisure and a little bit of fun, I want to tell you about the yes or no game. You've

00:21:56.620 seen the show. Now you can join the fun. Yes or no. The yes or no game. Not just a show on the

00:22:02.140 internet, but a game you can play with your friends. Mr. Davies, are you ready? Oh, I'm so ready.

00:22:07.780 Here's a prompt. Protestants are doing more to push back against the radical left than Catholics.

00:22:12.940 Wow. That's a loaded question, huh? How would I answer?

00:22:18.120 I will like to say that Professor Jacob did pick the card and it is a good one. And I think you would

00:22:26.060 say no. You're right. I would say no today in the year of our Lord, 2025. If you had asked me that

00:22:34.740 question 10 years ago, maybe even five years ago, I probably would have said yes because the

00:22:40.180 evangelicals were much tougher on the left than the Catholics who were politically relatively

00:22:45.540 disengaged. But I don't know. These days, it seems like the evangelicals got a little bit

00:22:49.860 squishy during 2020, George Floyd, all the rest of it. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

00:22:54.680 I agree.

00:22:54.960 And the Catholics are getting a little tougher. Would you agree? 1.00

00:22:59.100 I do agree.

00:23:00.000 You do agree. There you go. All right. You got to figure out how you know your friends

00:23:03.180 by getting the yes or no game. Last year, we released the Conspiracy Expansion Pack.

00:23:07.960 Some have called the card game MKUltra. We did not stop there. We then unveiled the Politics,

00:23:14.880 Philosophy, and Religion Expansion Pack, which others have described as like walking on foot

00:23:19.320 from the Acropolis to Mecca with an ayahuasca IV drip while listening to a Jordan Peterson lecture

00:23:23.660 all while fasting. Who writes this stuff? Wait, there's more. We're teasing an even wilder

00:23:28.320 expansion pack coming in 2025. Stay tuned. But to play any of these, you need the OG,

00:23:32.320 the original yes or no game, the game. Play with up to nine people. Test your friends,

00:23:36.220 families, knowledge, and opinions. Dailywire.com slash shop. Get your game today.

00:23:42.540 Speaking of light and darkness, California is on fire. There's a video really scary came

00:23:47.240 out yesterday on social media. Some guy in his home, his glass modern home in LA, just surrounded

00:23:54.340 by fire. You would hope that in this case, he could find a way to get out and not be filming

00:24:00.160 around there. But I don't know, he's just filming his house. I hope he survived. See a dog there.

00:24:05.180 Hope the dog survived. But this is scary stuff. I lived in LA for six, seven years and fires happen

00:24:11.700 regularly. This is not just a regular California fire. The whole city practically is on fire from

00:24:17.600 Pasadena to Malibu. It's just engulfing everything. And there's like no containment.

00:24:23.680 I texted a friend of mine who lives in Malibu last night. I said, how's it going? He said,

00:24:29.100 I'm evacuated. I said, is the fire contained? He goes, no. I think it was 0% contained.

00:24:36.140 The city going up in flames, another friend of mine out in LA, Akira Davis says,

00:24:40.700 it's been so dry. We can't clear brush. We can't clear brush near power lines,

00:24:45.420 homeless encampments with open flames everywhere. Four years of defund the police. This is the perfect

00:24:50.240 storm. And this gets to the political aspect of all this. This is not just nature. This is not

00:24:57.700 just what happens in LA. This is not just climate change or whatever. This fire is the result of

00:25:03.180 specific policies. There are reports now that the LA fire department is out of water, that fire hydrants

00:25:08.340 don't have any more water. That's a political problem. The mayor of Los Angeles is reportedly not

00:25:16.200 even in the city right now, might not even be on the continent right now. That same mayor cut the

00:25:23.100 police, the fire department budget in this fiscal year by almost $20 million. President Trump,

00:25:30.440 when he showed up to California some years ago, scolded Gavin Newsom, said, you need better forest

00:25:35.700 management practices here. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Just the homeless encampments.

00:25:42.260 Guess who starts these fires? I don't know who started this specific fire or how many of these

00:25:48.760 specific fires that we're seeing burn right now. The homeless start the fires generally because LA

00:25:54.100 allows the homeless people to live up in the very dry hills and they have open flames and often they

00:25:59.240 catch on fire and they burn zillions of acres of land. That's a political problem. That's not a natural

00:26:05.680 problem. The fires in California, we got to pray for the people. Hopefully they can contain this.

00:26:10.840 The political takeaway here is that lots of little rot can lead to big sudden fires. Lots of little

00:26:21.360 rot, little literal rot in wood, in brush, but lots of political rot. We're going to defund the fire

00:26:30.880 department. We're not going to manage our forests. We're going to build in places maybe we shouldn't

00:26:36.060 build. We're going to let vagrants have open flames in dangerous places. We're going to do this. We're

00:26:42.220 going to do that. Lots of little rot. We're not going to manage our water properly. We're going to

00:26:46.660 drain reservoirs. The list goes on. Can lead suddenly to really big fires. So I felt about BLM, which

00:26:57.060 literally burned cities to the ground. BLM was the result of lots of little rot. Lots of little rot on

00:27:06.500 how we talk about race in America, how we educate people, how we deal with criminals, how we let a lot

00:27:11.940 of criminals off the hook, how politicians indulge racial grievance, so on and so forth. How we don't

00:27:21.840 defend our police officers, how the establishment media lie about a criminal who was killed during an

00:27:28.000 arrest. On and on and on. All that little rot. It goes on for a while and you barely even notice it.

00:27:36.700 And then something ignites. And then the country burns for eight months while BLM rioters are looting 0.97

00:27:43.140 footlockers and torching cities. That's how these things work. And then the fire grows so large that you

00:27:51.380 think. It couldn't have possibly been because of this political decision or that little political

00:27:55.080 decision or this or that. But it is. It's the accumulation of all of this detritus. It's the

00:28:01.920 accumulation of all of this just rot. Sparks up. So if you don't want the big fires in the future,

00:28:09.780 you've got to deal with those individual little tiny problems as they come up. Now, turning from

00:28:15.600 California, turning a little bit southeast, President Trump wants to rename the body of

00:28:21.960 water that we presently call the Gulf of Mexico. President Trump, according to Washington Post and

00:28:27.680 other news reports, has proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. And democracy dies in

00:28:35.360 darkness, Washington Post asks in the headline, can he do that? The president-elect told reporters

00:28:42.060 Tuesday that he wanted the body of water called the Gulf of America, but he provided no details on

00:28:46.100 how the change would be enacted. Can he do that? Yeah, he can. Why not? Why couldn't we do that?

00:28:54.700 The Gulf of Mexico is presently called the Gulf of Mexico in no small part because that's what we

00:29:00.440 call it. Yeah, we can rename it. Sure. Why not? It's at least as much our Gulf as it's Mexico's Gulf.

00:29:06.300 And we're America and Mexico is Mexico. Mexico is barely a real country. Yeah, we could do that.

00:29:13.120 When you travel to Arabia, I remember this, I was visiting a friend of mine in Arabia and I pulled

00:29:18.200 out my phone and I saw the Persian Gulf, except the Persian Gulf wasn't called the Persian Gulf.

00:29:22.180 It was called the Arabian Gulf because the Arabia doesn't like Persia, now known as Iran. So that body 0.97

00:29:28.600 of water that we call the Persian Gulf, they call it the Arabian Gulf. That's easy enough. 0.64

00:29:32.660 We're America. We can do things. We have some power. We have some influence. We're a pretty big

00:29:38.800 act. This is Trump's point. When he says things like, I want to rename the Gulf of Mexico,

00:29:44.260 the left and the squishes write him off as being frivolous or silly or proposing something that can't

00:29:51.160 even be done. Can he do that? In fact, the question, can he do that, is why Trump is proposing it. 0.80

00:29:57.980 It is a reminder, all this stuff, the proposal to buy Greenland, the jokes, are they jokes about

00:30:05.620 taking Canada, are the big parades, the 250th anniversary of America parade, the big military

00:30:13.440 parade during his first term. They're all answers to the question, can he do that? He wants these

00:30:19.620 reporters to ask, can he do that? To remind people, yes, we can. We are America. We can do things.

00:30:26.540 We don't need to just take orders from the rest of the world. We don't need to go quietly into the

00:30:32.260 night. We don't need to just throw up our hands and concede the greatness of our country.

00:30:39.980 We can do things. Can we rename a Gulf on our coast on a map? Yeah, duh. We're the global hegemon.

00:30:49.280 Yes, of course you could do that. Good grief. Well, what will the UN say? Who cares? Also,

00:30:55.780 the UN does what we say they do, because we're the global hegemon. Well, I don't know. I mean,

00:31:02.240 will the companies that produce the maps and the textbooks go? Yeah, how about we produce them?

00:31:07.780 Yeah, we're America. Yes, we can do that. We can do a lot more than that, too.

00:31:13.120 Are we going to buy Greenland? I don't know. Don Jr., the president's son,

00:31:17.260 has just posted a video where he's flying on Trump Force One into Nuke, Greenland,

00:31:26.980 just to pay a little visit to our neighbors to the Northeast.

00:31:31.040 Guys, where are we heading? We're heading to Greenland. Talk to the locals. Talk to people.

00:31:36.160 See what they think about America. Have a good time.

00:31:39.160 The whole town has shown up, I think, at the airports. Let's go to Greenland. Let's do it. Let's do it.

00:31:51.160 I mean, this is sort of my world as an outdoorsman, as someone who sort of travels to remote parts of the world.

00:31:56.920 I love it. What do you need the help with?

00:31:59.400 We do things, social, everything, everything.

00:32:02.360 Show up, everything.

00:32:03.940 So you like the U.S.?

00:32:05.540 I love the U.S.

00:32:06.800 Awesome trip to Greenland. Super warm welcome. People excited about Trump. They're excited about America.

00:32:12.000 I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and getting to spend a little bit more time on the ground myself.

00:32:17.440 Love it. I love this whole video. It was really smart to send Don. You saw sitting right next to Don is Charlie, Charlie Kirk.

00:32:25.500 Really kind of young, exciting people in the Trump movement.

00:32:29.080 And just after President Trump's talking about buying Greenland, they just happen to take a little trip.

00:32:34.020 Why not? You know, just a little boy's day in Greenland.

00:32:37.600 And when Don comes out there and he says, look, I'm an outdoorsman.

00:32:40.560 This is the sort of thing I love to do.

00:32:42.160 It's sincere. It's not totally contrived.

00:32:45.280 Don really is a hunter. He's an outdoorsman.

00:32:47.720 He's an authentic guy.

00:32:50.880 And when he goes and meets with the people of Greenland and they come up and they say, oh, man, we love you.

00:32:55.700 We love Trump. We love America. We want help from America.

00:32:57.920 America, that's authentic, too.

00:32:59.480 And why did they take this trip and why did they release that video?

00:33:02.720 To counter the liberal narrative that Greenland hates us.

00:33:07.200 You're seeing this develop now.

00:33:08.620 Greenland does not want to be controlled by America.

00:33:12.080 Why wouldn't they? Greenland's currently controlled by Denmark.

00:33:14.700 If you had the choice to be controlled by Denmark or America, the global hegemon, probably you'd go with the latter, right? 0.91

00:33:19.580 America can offer you more.

00:33:21.420 And, you know, things are tough for some of us in Greenland and we'd love support from America.

00:33:24.860 America and we like Trump.

00:33:26.200 And so it's a brilliant video.

00:33:28.660 I don't know who came up with this video, but whoever did is a genius.

00:33:31.560 And Don does a fabulous job in it, which is just to show, hey, we're going to cut through the media BS here.

00:33:38.640 We're going to cut through the dishonest leftist media that is presenting an image to you.

00:33:44.140 We're just going to go straight to Greenland.

00:33:45.320 Hey, what do you guys think of Trump?

00:33:46.380 Oh, you like him?

00:33:47.100 Cool.

00:33:47.320 That's awesome.

00:33:47.860 Great.

00:33:48.040 Yeah, we can just go to Greenland.

00:33:51.820 We can do it.

00:33:52.860 We can bypass the establishment media.

00:33:56.260 We can go visit Greenland, have a nice boys weekend in Greenland.

00:34:01.020 We can maybe buy Greenland.

00:34:02.560 The U.S. State Department's been talking about it for over 150 years.

00:34:05.620 We've made a couple offers on it.

00:34:07.260 We can.

00:34:07.740 Again, we in America can do things, and we can grow, and we can expand, and we can be strong, and we can throw our weight around, and maybe we can even be great again.

00:34:20.460 That's the message.

00:34:21.160 Now, of more immediate concern beyond the Gulf of Mexico, sorry, Gulf of America, or Greenland, is the Panama Canal.

00:34:32.740 President Trump has proposed reasserting control of the Panama Canal, and the libs are losing their minds over this.

00:34:38.960 Just a reminder, the Panama Canal is ours.

00:34:42.400 We built the Panama Canal.

00:34:44.240 We controlled the Panama Canal entirely until Jimmy Carter gave it away in the 1970s for no reason.

00:34:49.440 During that time, conservatives were a little bit split.

00:34:51.740 There was a famous debate between William F. Buckley Jr. and Ronald Reagan over whether or not to give the canal to Panama.

00:34:58.900 Buckley was in favor of giving the canal to Panama.

00:35:01.940 Reagan said it would be a bad idea to give the canal to Panama, and Reagan was right. 1.00

00:35:07.620 And also, we are within our legal rights to retake that canal, and here's why.

00:35:13.420 Paul Du Canoy at the New York Post has a really good article about this.

00:35:16.560 When we gave the canal back to Panama, this extremely crucial strategic commercial national security matter, we did so with treaties.

00:35:28.540 And the treaties gave various stipulations, including that Panama has to continue to operate the canal.

00:35:36.140 Panama cannot just give the canal away to someone else, but that's exactly what Panama did.

00:35:40.540 Panama gave the canal away, and not just anyone.

00:35:42.140 They gave the canal away to China, possibly our biggest geopolitical adversary. 0.88

00:35:46.580 In 96, Panama decides, it's like 20 years after the Panama Canal Treaty, Panama decides to outsource management of the entry ports to a Hong Kong-based company.

00:35:57.040 Now, at that time, in 96, Hong Kong was controlled by the British.

00:36:01.320 So we said, okay, the British, they're sort of an appendage of the American empire anyway.

00:36:04.280 Anyway, it's the motherland, no big deal. 0.91

00:36:07.120 Problem is, in 1997, I remember it clearly, the Brits gave Hong Kong back to China, which was also a stupid thing to do, but they did that. 0.58

00:36:16.380 So now, all of a sudden, you've got the Panama Canal being controlled by an entity that is controlled by China. 0.65

00:36:22.260 Now, this was a 25-year lease.

00:36:24.200 However, in 2021, they renewed the contract.

00:36:27.340 So that means China effectively controls the Panama Canal.

00:36:31.240 That is an unacceptable national security risk.

00:36:33.740 It violates the 1977 treaty, which demanded Panamanian operational control of the canal, which is to say that Trump's policy here is extremely mainstream.

00:36:48.020 Trump's threat to retake the Panama Canal is not lawless, quite the opposite.

00:36:52.920 It's just following the law.

00:36:53.980 It's not a fringe idea, it's a very mainstream idea.

00:36:58.700 So much of what Trump suggests, you know, we're going to take Greenland, or we're going to reclaim the Panama Canal, is being reported in the press as the crazy ravings of a madman who knows nothing about American law or American history.

00:37:10.940 Quite the opposite.

00:37:12.640 Trying to buy Greenland is as American as apple pie.

00:37:15.860 We've been trying to do it since the 19th century.

00:37:20.080 And the Panama Canal is as American as apple pie, too.

00:37:22.880 And pretty soon, the Gulf of Mexico is going to be as American as apple pie. 0.57

00:37:51.040 My favorite comment yesterday is from Christian Solid, 1702, who says,

00:37:55.460 The problem with Canada being the 51st state is that they normally vote liberal.

00:37:59.420 Do we need that?

00:38:00.120 No, no, no.

00:38:00.420 They don't need to be a 51st state.

00:38:02.100 They can just be a territory.

00:38:04.020 They can be snowy Puerto Ricans. 1.00

00:38:05.640 It's fine.

00:38:07.040 We can control them, but they don't have any vote.

00:38:11.260 Maybe we could go further.

00:38:13.340 Maybe we could just use them as a tax base.

00:38:15.300 You know, they'll be like the helots of our civilization.

00:38:19.220 How about that?

00:38:19.860 Someone posted on social media yesterday.

00:38:21.620 He said, Why are we talking about Greenland?

00:38:23.640 We need to be talking about how the 1% don't pay their fair share of taxes.

00:38:27.520 I said, Well, you've got to expand your imagination, man.

00:38:30.820 What if the Greenlanders just pay all of our taxes? 1.00

00:38:34.640 This is kind of serfs or something.

00:38:36.100 Well, now the Canadians. 0.55

00:38:36.920 Why don't they do that?

00:38:38.320 Those Canadians have a lot to pay for up in America's evil top hat. 1.00

00:38:41.140 They've done a lot of bad things.

00:38:42.220 At least that's the starting point of our negotiation.

00:38:46.220 Isn't that?

00:38:46.520 I think that's the art of the deal.

00:38:49.220 Now, the Democrat line is to pretend that all of this is frivolous.

00:38:52.160 All this talk about resources in Greenland or the Panama Canal.

00:38:56.460 They say this is all frivolous.

00:38:58.600 Eric Swalwell, a man who briefly ran for president

00:39:03.060 and is most famous for allegedly sleeping with a Chinese spy

00:39:06.940 and making strange noises during a cable news interview.

00:39:10.700 Eric Swalwell tweets out,

00:39:13.060 I don't care if Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland.

00:39:15.420 I just want to know what he's going to do to lower the cost of groceries.

00:39:20.880 This is a stunning, stunning tweet.

00:39:24.840 Because it's an admission that the Inflation Reduction Act

00:39:28.460 that Eric Swalwell voted for three years ago didn't work.

00:39:32.440 This is a stunning admission.

00:39:34.160 It seems almost sincere.

00:39:37.180 Usually in politics, a question like this is not sincere.

00:39:43.400 Usually in politics, a question like this is just a kind of rhetorical jab.

00:39:47.520 Here's what I want to know.

00:39:49.820 What is Donald Trump going to do?

00:39:51.160 Except in this case,

00:39:52.660 Eric Swalwell's party has been running the government for four years.

00:39:55.400 In this case, Eric Swalwell voted for a piece of legislation

00:39:58.380 that was supposed to fix the problem that Eric Swalwell is admitting

00:40:00.520 is still going on.

00:40:02.840 In this case, the question almost seems sincere.

00:40:05.940 It's like, hey, can you please tell me how to lower prices?

00:40:09.320 We said we could lower prices, but we didn't.

00:40:11.580 Actually, prices got a lot higher.

00:40:12.840 So can you, Mr. Trump, sir, can you please lower the cost of my eggs?

00:40:18.280 I can't afford eggs.

00:40:21.020 Please.

00:40:22.180 Because Congress hasn't had a raise in nine years.

00:40:24.020 Can you please?

00:40:26.700 More than nine years.

00:40:27.900 It's been 15 years now.

00:40:30.800 The libs have given up the game.

00:40:32.820 I think they've given up the game.

00:40:34.580 They've got nothing.

00:40:38.040 They're throwing their hands in the air.

00:40:40.260 They're saying, um, huh.

00:40:42.980 We can't say this is an upending of democracy

00:40:46.320 because Trump won the popular vote.

00:40:48.080 We can't say that he's racist

00:40:50.100 because one in five black guys voted for him

00:40:52.000 and half of Hispanics almost.

00:40:53.520 We can't even really say he's sexist

00:40:54.840 because he won huge numbers of women.

00:40:56.400 He won 40% of women under the age of 30. 0.92

00:40:58.140 All right, man.

00:41:00.760 What are you going to?

00:41:02.380 Are you going to lower inflation?

00:41:03.580 I guess.

00:41:04.460 I can't please.

00:41:05.700 And I suspect he'll do it quite well.

00:41:07.900 Or he could do it quite well.

00:41:09.340 The hardest hit of all these people, 1.00

00:41:11.460 all these losers, 0.99

00:41:12.600 are the former Republican turncoats 0.99

00:41:16.480 who have been supporting liberals

00:41:18.220 for the past four or even eight or nine years.

00:41:21.580 There is an outlet called the Dispatch.

00:41:27.140 There are two of these outlets.

00:41:28.200 One is called the Bulwark.

00:41:29.240 One is called the Dispatch.

00:41:30.580 And no one really reads either of them,

00:41:32.440 but they serve as welfare programs

00:41:34.960 for ousted former Republicans

00:41:36.960 who now just do the will of Democrats.

00:41:41.580 But the Democrats don't really read them.

00:41:43.540 The Republicans don't really read them,

00:41:44.660 but they're usually funded by leftists and Democrats.

00:41:47.220 And it's a jobs program

00:41:48.940 for ousted, squishy GOP consultants and writers.

00:41:53.460 So the editor-in-chief of one of these outlets,

00:41:58.220 the Dispatch, came out.

00:42:00.420 And he's quoting Ala Pundit,

00:42:02.520 which is a former kind of right-wing writer

00:42:05.360 who now, I guess, writes for these guys.

00:42:07.480 And he's whining about Mark Zuckerberg.

00:42:10.760 He says,

00:42:11.040 if Facebook feels it has no choice

00:42:13.280 but to submit to Trump,

00:42:14.340 it would be nice at least

00:42:16.200 if it didn't do him the favor

00:42:17.460 of perpetuating the fiction

00:42:18.740 that he cares about free expression in the abstract.

00:42:21.940 Post-liberal pressure,

00:42:22.840 not-liberal principle,

00:42:23.580 moved Zuckerberg to shift

00:42:24.460 toward less content moderation.

00:42:26.900 The new president has the means, motive,

00:42:28.560 and opportunity

00:42:29.140 to run this company into the ground.

00:42:32.160 He bears a personal grudge,

00:42:33.640 and Zuck is desperate,

00:42:35.420 free of state persecution,

00:42:36.800 fear of state persecution,

00:42:38.360 not respect for the marketplace of ideas,

00:42:40.000 led him to change this approach.

00:42:41.900 All these guys,

00:42:44.980 all these guys

00:42:45.680 lost their positions of prominence.

00:42:49.580 They lost their jobs,

00:42:50.640 they lost their sinecures,

00:42:52.060 they lost their prestige

00:42:53.100 when Trump took over the Republican Party.

00:42:56.020 And they didn't like Trump,

00:42:57.980 mostly because they felt

00:43:00.180 that he was too vulgar for them,

00:43:02.120 or because he didn't like them,

00:43:03.720 or because he wanted to shake up

00:43:05.200 their comfortable lifestyles.

00:43:07.120 And in some cases,

00:43:09.960 because Trump wanted to change policy,

00:43:11.720 Trump tended to be right 0.94

00:43:12.580 and they tended to be wrong.

00:43:15.060 But in any case,

00:43:15.940 they never got over it.

00:43:16.760 You want to talk about a personal grudge,

00:43:17.900 these guys have such a personal grudge against him.

00:43:19.900 They said all sorts of things.

00:43:20.720 They said Trump will never appoint pro-life judges.

00:43:22.780 Trump will never get Roe v. Wade overruled.

00:43:24.720 Trump will never get his tax bill passed.

00:43:27.080 Trump will never establish world peace.

00:43:30.080 Trump will lead to World War III.

00:43:32.120 Trump will do this,

00:43:32.740 Trump will do that.

00:43:33.220 And they were just wrong.

00:43:34.100 They were just totally wrong.

00:43:35.220 So there were some people

00:43:36.600 who opposed Trump in 2016

00:43:37.760 who, when they realized

00:43:39.760 that they were wrong in their predictions,

00:43:41.440 they did what any reasonable person would do.

00:43:43.600 They changed their minds

00:43:44.220 and they supported Trump.

00:43:45.280 But there's still this group of people,

00:43:47.260 the Lincoln Project,

00:43:49.300 these guys here at the couple of outlets

00:43:51.540 that are funded by Libs,

00:43:54.000 they're supposed to be fake conservatives.

00:43:56.520 And they just can't get over it.

00:43:58.860 It's so personal.

00:44:01.660 A lot of what it comes down to

00:44:03.320 is these guys lost their jobs.

00:44:04.940 Trump walked up to them

00:44:06.140 and indirectly said,

00:44:07.660 you're fired, 0.86

00:44:08.240 and they've never gotten over it.

00:44:09.660 This was a changing of the guard.

00:44:12.100 And this is a reminder,

00:44:13.760 especially this change from Facebook

00:44:17.280 that we opened the show with.

00:44:19.100 This is a reminder that personnel is policy.

00:44:23.960 Okay, why did Zuckerberg change the policy?

00:44:27.320 Is it because he had some massive change of heart?

00:44:29.980 Because he read some books,

00:44:31.260 some philosophy books?

00:44:32.880 Has he read a good column

00:44:34.100 about political ideology in some newspaper?

00:44:36.380 No.

00:44:37.040 He's doing this because now Trump has power.

00:44:40.280 And Zuckerberg fears that power.

00:44:41.760 In some ways,

00:44:42.220 I agree with the analysis from the dispatch.

00:44:45.000 But while they're whining about this,

00:44:47.240 I'm thrilled about it.

00:44:48.600 Or at the very least,

00:44:49.460 I accept that this is how politics works.

00:44:51.920 This is a changing of the guard.

00:44:53.800 Personnel is policy.

00:44:55.220 If you want to move the ball down the field,

00:44:56.900 it's not enough to persuade your opponents

00:44:59.360 in the abstract to give you what you like.

00:45:01.420 You need power.

00:45:02.460 You need leverage.

00:45:03.560 You need to get your guys into office.

00:45:05.300 In the words of Cocaine Mitch,

00:45:06.700 the winners go to Washington

00:45:07.740 and the losers go home.

00:45:09.700 That's what happens.

00:45:11.260 And when you do win,

00:45:12.340 when you do have power,

00:45:13.200 you can do things.

00:45:14.640 You can actually get some things done.

00:45:18.200 Now, I'm very excited to have a guest on the show,

00:45:21.580 Laura Becker from Identity Crisis,

00:45:23.540 a new movie that we're releasing,

00:45:24.840 partnering with TPUSA.

00:45:25.800 The rest of the show continues now.

00:45:27.380 You do not want to miss it.

00:45:28.400 Become a member.

00:45:28.900 Use code NOLSKIN at WLES

00:45:30.020 at checkout for two months free

00:45:31.180 on all annual plans.

00:45:50.020 I've often said that gender-affirming care

00:45:52.420 is health care.

00:45:53.500 It is mental health care,

00:45:54.580 and it can actually be

00:45:55.680 suicide prevention care.

00:45:58.220 I think I'm gonna take some medicine

00:46:01.400 so I can kind of like

00:46:02.680 transform into a boy,

00:46:04.760 get surgery.

00:46:05.960 After the surgery,

00:46:07.220 I didn't really feel any better.

00:46:09.480 When it stopped being a thing for adults

00:46:12.000 and it started to be a

00:46:13.240 let's teach this to kids.

00:46:14.540 Total lie.

00:46:15.720 Manipulation.

00:46:16.320 It's gaslighting.

00:46:17.200 Please stop.

00:46:18.060 He's a boy, not a girl. 0.99

00:46:19.680 How could she do this to my son?

00:46:21.160 What they're talking about

00:46:22.860 is hormonal therapy

00:46:24.240 or sex reassignment surgery

00:46:25.940 on children.

00:46:27.380 I thought fixing me externally

00:46:29.460 would fix me internally.

00:46:31.620 But of course I was wrong.

00:46:33.120 The fact that the state

00:46:34.120 thinks that they're more important

00:46:35.560 and have a better say

00:46:36.600 in what happens to your child

00:46:37.860 over the actual parent's opinion

00:46:39.520 is egregious.

00:46:40.680 Puberty blockers,

00:46:41.540 surgeries,

00:46:42.140 big money makers

00:46:42.900 for hospitals,

00:46:44.180 for physicians.

00:46:44.740 All I want to do

00:46:45.900 is hold my son.

00:46:48.600 Are you asking me

00:46:50.000 to lie to parents?

00:46:51.400 And he said yes.

00:46:53.100 This is an weaponized

00:46:54.860 use of a parent's sympathy

00:46:57.560 and caring and concern

00:46:58.820 by the left

00:46:59.640 to destroy your child. 0.88

00:47:01.380 Let's tell kids 0.78

00:47:02.400 that maybe they

00:47:03.320 can be the opposite sex.

00:47:04.940 Maybe they actually

00:47:05.780 are the opposite sex. 0.92

00:47:07.300 It is an evil thing

00:47:09.080 to tell children

00:47:10.280 that happiness lies

00:47:11.740 on the other side

00:47:12.480 of puberty blockers

00:47:13.800 or double mastectomies. 0.99

00:47:15.180 The left so badly

00:47:16.080 wants to blur these lines.

00:47:17.780 That's a five-alarm fire.

00:47:20.400 It's criminal.
